This typeface is a slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves show diagonal stress, and many joins and terminals taper into sharp, calligraphic points. The letterforms are relatively narrow in feel with lively, slightly variable rhythm, while maintaining consistent proportions across the set. Lowercase forms are compact with clear ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled construction.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headlines. It can also serve refined display roles—short passages, pull quotes, and formal announcements—where its sharp serifs and high-contrast rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a cultured, bookish elegance. Its energetic slant and sharp detailing add a sense of sophistication and motion rather than neutrality.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge, balancing classic proportions with sharper, more animated detailing to provide an elegant, expressive text companion.
In text, the pronounced modulation and fine hairlines create a delicate texture that favors comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions. The italic construction is assertive, with noticeable entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals that give lines a brisk, editorial cadence.
